Your Path to South African Higher Education

by LANGORIA ORIGIN

Welcome to EduCheckSA

Discover South African universities, explore courses, plan your career, and calculate your APS to find your perfect academic path.

🎯 Don't Have High Grades? You Still Have Options!

Many universities offer Extended Curriculum Programmes (ECP) that let you complete your degree in 4-5 years instead of 3, with extra support in your first year.

Use our APS Calculator to find courses you qualify for — including ECP options if your marks are lower.
